Funny how the TV mets who are usually the conservative ones are the people predicting more than what the latest Models are spitting out..Saw Nick Gregory Before saying 3-5 maybe more depending how fast storm bombs out..I was under impression models have went away from the phasing/Bombing part.. I am assuming he has seen all the latest Data today as well..

Glenn has 3-6" for Poconos, philly (and LV too I think) in 2-4", a thin stripe of 1-2" along I-295, and <1" for most of SNJ

also is sticking to snow starting monday night, but now says it may change over to a wintry mix or even rain

Sounds like a good and reasonable call.. trying to get my biggest snowfall of the season here (5")

the gfs pretty much shows what snowgoose was saying best case option for us is getting the waa preciep from PA and also getting qpf enhancment from the costal.....

Don't models usually under-forecast WAA?

Didn't we just go through this 2 nights ago, when snow started 2 hours earlier than expected? Only this time we won't have an early changeover screwing things up.

GFS is 3"-5".

UKIE looks like that also.

GGEM has a 1001 low just southeast of LI.

I'm liking the slight trend towards more amplification and a slightly wetter system as a result.

Gun to my head, I'd say 3-5" right now, but slightly more can't be ruled out if the high ratios work out. People can get 6" or even 7" with 0.4" liquid with the colder temps aloft forecasted.

It really looks like the NAM is on its own here.

The GFS, RGEM, GGEM and UKMET all have the Low developing closer to the coast, and therefore higher QPF numbers. Meanwhile, on the NAM we get almost all of our snow from WAA, which is why the Jersey coast is actually almost dry.

I'm starting to like widespread 3-5" again. It only takes 0.25" of moisture to hit that range, which all 4 of the models mentioned above have for Philly, NYC and the shore.

Seriously, when was the last time the NAM was too low on QPF? Has that EVER happened before?
